Port Townsend Paper to recycle more, use less water with new pulper at Washington mill

PORT TOWNSEND, WA, June 6, 2019 (Local News) -The Port Townsend Paper Corporation aims to increase its intake of recycled cardboard, while also reducing its consumption of fresh water by close to a million gallons per day.

Both improvements are tied to the planned replacement of the company’s Old Corrugated Container pulper, which is 22 years old, scheduled for this fall, but not before the public comment period expires June 28.

Kevin Scott, General Manager of the paper mill just outside of Port Townsend, recently took The Leader on a tour of the facilities, during which he outlined the goals for the replacement pulper.

Flexibility is the key when living in an on-demand world. Consumer behaviour can change rapidly. The challenges are to adapt fast and to provide new premium products and yet still
be sustainable and cost-effective. See how Valmet has brought tissue producers’ flexibility and increased sustainability with its new range of hybrid tissue technologies.
